PS5 Unachievable Platinum Medals On Dresden-riesa

As the title says, the scoring threshold seems to have been altered on DRA for many timetable services, perhaps accidentally during a previous patch addressing the substitution issue I described in an earlier post.

From my experience, I’ve noticed that the highest achievable medal is, in all tested cases, gold. This currently affects both passenger and freight services.

I even re-played some services in which I’ve received a platinum before and get a lesser score than what was previously achieved. The reason could in fact be related to some services (namely Talent services) do not give you extra AP for using safety systems or for correct cab setup.

But as for other services I’ve tested, (Any freight or S-Bahn service) still give you points for using safety systems, albeit not enough to earn you a platinum medal.

Small, non-important, non-gamebreaking, insignificant issue but thought I’d bring it up here anyway .

If this has indeed come about because of the incessant fix one thing, break two more things behavior that’s been afflicting DTG since the beginning of time, perhaps it’s time to do a bit of rethinking in regards to the system as a whole?

As a bit of a side note; are Action Points, that hardly do anything at all to begin with worth all the time and frustration it’s undoubtedly caused the company and subsequently the player? And the time spent fixing things over and over again? It obviously doesn’t work. Just get rid of it entirely !
